HILEMAN, A. J.

News of the death of A.J. Hileman, deputy county recorder of deeds, at his home in Somerset Tuesday morning, April 7, brought sorrow to many hearts, for Mr. Hileman was held in affectionate regard by a great many people in Somerset county who knew him intimately in both private and official life. He was a man of strict integrity and of marked efficiency in his chosen work and in his official capacity, and a most obliging public servant. His death was caused by uremic poisoning after being bedfast since Saturday. He was a member of the Methodist Church and of Hiawatha Lodge, IOOF of Addison. Mr. Hileman was born in Addison Township, March 12, 1843, and therefore was 71 years and 26 days of age at his death. His early education was received in the public schools of his native township, and later he attended normal schools in Somerset County, Pa., and Allegany Co., Maryland. He entered the teaching profession at an early age, and for 24 years - 16 in this county and eight in Allegany County, Md. - with success and credit, being the oldest teacher in the county in successive terms when he quit. The editor of The Republican was one of his first pupils in the old Bear Creek log school house near Accident, Md. He was our first teacher and taught us our A,B,C's. On September 26, 1875, he was married to Samantha Bird, who died several years ago. His surviving children are Mrs. C.R. Schultz of California, Pa., Mrs. Ray Wisseman and Misses Maude and Emma, all at home. In 1885, Mr. Hileman was appointed clerk to the County Commissioners, and so well did he perform his duties that he was re-elected in 1888, performing the duties of that office for six years. In 1890, he was elected Registrar and Recorder of Deeds, a position he filled with credit and to the satisfaction of the people of this county. Since then he did work for every Recorder and he was the principal deputy under Recorders N.E. Berkey and John G. Emert. A service was held at the Hileman home on Friday evening, and on Saturday morning the body was taken to Addison Borough for interment.

HILLEARY, Hon. Charles

Hon. Charles Hilleary, a well known farmer, stock raiser, and financier, of Garrett County, Md., whose home was about three miles from Gorman, shot himself in a meadow near his home Friday August 18, 1911. Leaving the house at 11 o'clock, he informed members of the family that he wished to see if the hay was ready to be hauled into the barns. Not returning for dinner, search was made and he was found about a quarter of a mile from the house lying under the branches of a tree with a felt hat he had worn rolled up to form a pillow for his head. In his right hand he still held a 38-calibre revolver. He had evidently lain down and shot himself above the right ear, the bullet emerging above the left ear. Mr. Hilleary owned one of the largest and best farms in the county, was a director of several banks, a member of the Masons and Knights of Pythias and was prominent in Republican politics in Garrett County, having represented that county in the state legislature. Mr. Hilleary left a widow and four children. Mrs. Hilleary was Miss Thompson. His funeral, which was conducted by the Oakland Masonic Lodge, was held Sunday afternoon and the body was buried in the Thompson cemetery. Rev. Watson, of Keyser, preached the sermon. Mr. Hilleary was 51 years old. No reason is assigned for the rash act, as Mr. Hilleary was in good financial condition and had a happy home. He had many friends in Mineral County who are deeply grieved because of his sad and untimely death.

John, William, Martin, Frank and Harry Hines.  The following brothers and sisters are also bereaved: Miss Margaret Condry, Mrs. J. S. Brophy, Martin Condry, superintendent of the Piedmont and Georges Coal Co and William Condry  of Eckhart.  The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from St. Michael's Church, Interment will be made in the family lot, St. Michael's cemetery.  Miss Margaret Condry, a sister of Mrs. Hines, who resides at the Hines' residence, is also prostrate with illness; her condition being so alarming it was feared to apprise her of her sister's death.

HITCHCOCK, Lydia Humbird

Rites For Mrs. Hitchcock
Scheduled For Tomorrow in the church she saw under construction nearly a century ago, funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2 pm. for Mrs. Lydia (Humbird) Hitchcock who observed her 109th birthday last August 3. As a little girl she helped with candy and fancy work booths, some of the funds needed for the construction of Emmanuel Episcopal Church on the site of Fort Cumberland. She remembered William Price, grandfather of Emily Post, who built the house on Washington St that is now the Lowndes House and who was a member of the Emmanuel parish. From Sunday until her death at noon yesterday, the oldest resident of the Tri-State and one of the oldest in the United States was unconscious. Active in keeping her own home on Fayette Street until she was passed 102, Mrs Hitchcock first showed signs of feebleness after an attack of pneumonia in 1943, the year she entered Memorial Hospital. Her birthdays were real occasions until she was past 107. On her 107th birthday, August 3, 1950, there were flowers and refreshments with relatives and close friends present in her hospital room. Her picture was taken by the Evening and Sunday Times photographer, the last ever made of her. The late President Franklin D Roosevelt wrote Mrs. Hitchcock a personal letter on the occasion of her hundredth birthday which she observed with much energy, greeting more than 100 callers and reading innumerable greetings and letters. Her last visit to the polls was in November 1944 when, at the age of 101, she voted for Roosevelt. Mrs. Hitchcock remembered the celebration here in 1850 to mark the opening of the C & O Canal. She was already 18 years old when the Civil War started, and recalled many incidents of that conflict between the states. Born August 3, 1843 in a log cabin at the head of Mechanic Street, she was a daughter of the late John L. and Sarah E. (McKee) Humbird. Her father served four terms as mayor of Cumberland. Her husband, the late Luke D. Hitchcock, died approximately 70 years ago. Survivors include a granddaughter, Mrs. Eleanor (Charles) Johnston, city; two nieces, Mrs. Lydia Sturtevant, city; Mrs. Walter Swartzwelder, McKeesport, Pa.; a nephew. William DeVries, LaVale; two great-grandsons, Charles and William Johnston, city, and numerous great nieces and nephews. So, tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the church she saw built nearly a century ago, the last rites will be conducted by the Rev. H. Maunsell Richardson for Mrs. Lydia Humbird Hitchcock whose life spanned more than half of Cumberland's 200 years of history. Interment will be in Rose Hill Cemetery. The body is at Stein's Funeral Home. — J.W.H.
